It is a fabulous spot and a great value place to stay right in the heart of St Mawes. It is approached via an external staircase which leads to the terrace and front door.

Reviews

Joanne Lelean

I'm a regular visitor to this town. This is by far the best accommodation that I have stayed in for my needs and budget. Strategically placed for everything good facilities, decking gave us an excellent view of the fireworks NY eve. Flat is airey and spacious. If I could add something it would be a better night/security light on the top outside steps up to the decking and a couple of big mugs for hot chocolate on the decking.

Mo Durnford

Our son, daughter in law and grandson stayed in Spinnakers over Christmas time. It was a perfect place for them to stay and as a result of the layout of the accommodation our grandson slept through the night for the first time! We would thoroughly recommend Spinnakers for families or two couples.

Graeme Grady

Lost count the number of times we stay here, it really is a home from home. What a nice surprise this time to see the night storage heaters have been replaced with central heating, the place was lovely and cosy.
Location could not be better, lovely quiet spot and the flat is a great size. Everything you need in a home away from home is here.
Downside this time, the internet, why had parental control been activated? This caused us problems in booking a wine tour (access not permitted), and even booking some restaurants, for some reason their sites were blocked, be good of that can be changed.
However, highly recommend Spinnakers.

Spinnakers s a comfortable apartment in a beautiful area,It was the nicest area we have visited in Cornwall. We were blessed with lovely weather and only 1 full day of rain.St Mawes is a bustling area with small shops and a few pubs.The people are very friendly.The only thing was the shower was luke warm.we had a shower this year and that was luke warm also, and the plumber came back and adjusted the cold water feed in the shower and it is lovely now. overall a very enjoyable week,and would like to stay in St Mawes again

Jo Moores

This was our 2nd stay at spinnakers. Its
A Great apartment very clean and spacious . Perfect location.

Linda Trimble

Spinnakers was a lovely spacious apartment, central for anyone wanting to explore Cornwall. It was very well equipped with everything you need to make your stay easy and comfortable. It was just across the road from the harbour and the view from the top deck was beautiful. Everything was clean and tidy. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in St.Mawes.

Robin Fell

Great location in St Mawes , very comfortable flat with great sea view terrace.
Mini soaps and shower gel in bathroom would be a definate advantage, avoids panic buy on late arrival !

Christina Hanson

This is our 2nd stay at Spinnakers and doubt it will be the last. It has all you need and more for that home away from home stay and right on the seafront to boot with added bonus of outside decking area with few over the harbour and out to sea.

Norma Wildy

Very spacious apartment. Fully equipped with modern appliances including dish washer and washer dryer, having the en-suite shower room in the master bedroom was a bonus!
No allocated parking space but in theWinter months you can park outside against the sea wall.
We were there for 2 weeks and it was a nice surprise when the towels and linen were replaced over the middle weekend.
Very central in St Mawes.
The only thing I would recommend is that they replace the duvet on the double bed with the next size up!
Otherwise a great place to stay
t PLEASE NOTE there are 2 flights of quite steep stairs to access the apartment!

Barbara Hainsworth

The location of the accommodation was very good, car parking is mainly in the public car parks which can be expensive.
The ferry was very nearby and a good way to explore the area without the car. All eateries were a very good standard if a little pricey.

David Butler

Spinnikers is a lovely spacious property, with access on the wavefront of St Mawes. It is within easy walking distance of local shops, pubs and restaurants of which there's a choice. The apartment does have two outside terraces, the higher one provides a view over the rooftops to the bay and beyond.
Two things to note for any visitor. The property entrance is up a flight of stairs, with an additional flight up to the higher terrace. Secondly while you can stop to load and unload outside the court yard entrance, parking is best in the main village car park. There is a week long parking ticket option for £30,

Guest

Nice place, sadly ruined by the noise from the people two doors down who own a bakery business and think its ok to start shouting orders to each other/clanking around metal equipment/throwing stuff around and generally being very loud from 6am and through the day. Not what you want on your only holiday of the year! VERY ANNOYING! And were used to noise, coming from a big city. Someone needs to have a word.....

David Beesley

Great appartment in quiet & secluded location. Family freindly beaches and good quality bars and restaurants just a stone's throw away. One visit is not enough to explore the walks and wildlife
We managed 90km in one week and no driving necessary.
A must visit location

Linda Nicholas

Another lovely stay ay Spinnakers. Love being in the centre of St Mawes with all amenities in walking distance. Flat is bright and airy, well equipped and with the bonus of good outside space, the upper deck perfect for breakfast in the sun with lovely sea views.

Graeme Grady

About our 4th time here....still as good as the first. Lovely place and great location...always leave well rested.

Graeme Grady

Really like this place, great size, nice and quiet, great location, very comfortable. Only gave 'Good' for comfort this time, as the double mattress has probably had it's day.
Must say, we loved the refitted bathrooms, they are so good it has spurred me to change my bathroom at home!
One difference we noticed this time was the internet seems to have a control on it, we could not access some websites, i.e. a couple of pubs/restaurants.....or the National Lottery - be nice if this was removed.
The above has not put us off, we have already booked for next April!

Sarah Fisher

We had a wonderful week at Spinnakers. The flat was beautifully presented, very spacious and in an excellent location.

Marie McHardy

We have had a fab week a the spinnakers property. Very spacious apartment in a fabulous location , right in the centre of town yet tucked away from the main road so very peaceful,. The apartment was very well equipped there was nothing that was not catered for. We loved the raised decking area and enjoyed a glass of wine whilst watching the sailing boats

Paul Richards

Spinnakers is an excellent well located holiday apartment - close the harbour front at St Mawes but with a secluded courtyard feel. The apartment is comfortable, clean and very well equipped. Our only reservation would be concerning the double bed in the main bedroom - this room could benefit from the next size up of bed, together with a more robust mattress. However, this only detracts slightly from what is otherwise a superb apartment and good value for money.

Linda Nicholas

3rd visit to Spinnakers. On each visit the property has been improved, the new bathrooms this year are lovely. we love the location and make full use of the ferries so as not to use the car very often. Lots of nearby walks and great local shops and pubs. Can't think of anything that would improve either the property (except perhaps for cushions for the outside wooden furniture) or St Mawes itself. Can't weight to come back next year.

Graeme Grady

This is a great place to stay, secure, private and quiet. Layout of place is great, design gives two couples their own bathroom.
Put condition as 'Good' only necause there is dampness in the main bedroom which needs to be seen too. When it rained the wall was actually wet.
Would definitely book this place again.

Seri Sheehan

A comfortable and spacious flat in an ideal location in St Mawes. We think it is really good that you offer a couples discount for the use of one bedroom/bathroom only. Makes this great value for money. We appreciated the owners welcome pack too which gave lots of local information and useful tips.

Fiona Daykin

Very good had a great time, excellent and very comfortable , very clean and in a superb location would definitely recommend to others and would stay there again

Martin Mitchell

As always, spinnakers was superbly presented. It had obviously been freshly painted. First suggestion: Because of being freshly painted, the front door was sticking quite badly. Repeated forcing it open may damage it . Easing the door would be helpful.
The new decking is a great feature. Suggestion two: The use of the decked area would be enhanced by tidying the garden approach and the overhanging vegetation. Some garden furniture on the decked area would further enhance its' use.

Graeme Grady

Only found this place after spending one night in an awful place, Fishermans Cottage in Port Isaac...so bad after one night we found this place...lucky for us it was free and we could afford to pay for the weeks rental. Cornwall Cottages were a great help in assisting with securing Spinnakers for us.
Spinnakers is FIRST CLASS accommodation. Very spacious, what with one double room one side of the flat with a large bathroom and another at the opposite side with an ensuite. The large living room is a shear joy.....very well equipped, excellent use of space and in a very quiet location. No sea view, but to be honest you do not need it, this place is really restful.
So good we have booked to go back for two weeks in October.

Ros Hammond

We really enjoyed our stay at Spinnakers in St Mawes. The apartment is very light and spacious and very well equipped. The location could not have been more central and convenient. The patio table was used often for sunny breakfasts and quiet suppers. We came down on the train, bought Fal Mussel cards and travelled about all week on boats, trains and buses and this worked out really well. We will definitely consider coming again.

Linda Nicholas

Our 2nd visit to Spinnakers lived up to expectations. The new decked area is a great addition. The Roseland is a lovely unspoilt area of Cornwall. The property has everything you could want and more whilst being reasnably prices. Great area for walking. Only used our car a couple of times all week. Indifferent weather meant we were unable to take advantage of a mussel card effectively. But still made good use of the ferries. Good facilities in St Mawes for holidaymakets without the character of the village being spoilt. Will be back.

Guest

Excellent location and a very well equipped and comfortable property. On the downside there was no phone signal available, Wi-Fi was intermittent and we were unable to access sites such as Facebook. We also spent 20 min on reading the manual to the washing machine in trying to get this to work, with no success. This was reported we were then contacted a day later by the owner only to inform us that they had forgotten to make us aware that this is currently out of action and they were waiting for a spare part. It would have been nice to have known this previously as we could have taken additional items of clothing as we were counting on being able to wash items.

Guest

the flat suited our needs, but there was a musty smell in the hall. The Flat was more than adequately equipped and there were plenty of towels. The Packet of biscuits was a nice touch.

Guest

Spinnakers is a lovely large flat. The rooms are neat and tidy and everything works well. There isn't really a view from the flat, so it's good if you down there for a short time. The location is unbeatable.

Guest

Excellent sheltered location with ample living accommodation including a separate bathroom and a shower room. The kitchen has a washer/dryer, dishwasher and good cooking facilities, making evenings in a pleasure!

Guest

Spinnakers is a great flat in a great location. Two thoughts to make things even better. It would be very useful to have two sets of keys. In the evening someone locks the outer door. If one couple have gone to bed and the other returns late the couple inside have to be woken to let them in. Secondly a couple of sun beds on the little lawn would be very nice.

Guest

We stayed one week at Spinakers. It is a rather large flat with a lovely terrasse right at the harbour of St Mawes. The kitchen and everything was well-equipped and because of the many pictures on the walls which were painted perhaps by the owner of the flat or artists living in St Mawes it was very cosy. A lot of material (maps etc.) about St Mawes and the area were provided.

Guest

Excellent value for money, 2 bathrooms, two double bedrooms, parking 2 to 3 minutes walking, two flights of stairs to climb. Would definitely go back
